There are lots of rules in weight loss, and they all work to some degree. Here is the #1 way to start losing weight today. It is very simple and will have a profound effect on you life.

Rule - Write it down

That's it. That is all that you have to do to start losing weight. If you bite it, you must write it. Put everything on paper or track it through the internet. Even if you are not actively dieting you will find this to be powerful because if you don't lie then you will see in black and white where you are doing well and where you can improve. Everything goes on this list, food, drinks, alcohol, water, everything.

You journal needs only to track 3 things

The food item

The portion that you ate/drank

The calories

If you don't know the calories then you cannot eat it! Otherwise the tracking goes out the window.

You do not have to share your journal with anyone, it is simply for your education and personal accountability. Good Luck!
